Ortho-Bionomy, often referred to as the homeopathy of bodywork,
is a unique system of painless body therapy developed by
Dr. Arthur Lincoln Pauls, a British osteopath. Ortho-Bionomy
is designed to facilitate pain relief as well as physical
and emotional balance. The real work in Ortho-Bionomy is
achieved by the body's own self-corrective reflexes. The
releases are accompanied by realignment and re-education
of muscles, nerves and tissue. The practitioner uses gentle
movements and body positioning to encourage the body's own
natural reflexes and innate self-healing systems.
Benefits/Contraindications
Ortho-Bionomy
helps to alleviate acute and chronic pain and addresses
stress patterns thereby reducing muscle tension, soothing
the joints, increasing flexibility, improving circulation,
relaxing the body and calming the mind. No forceful manipulation
or deep muscle probing is utilized. Ortho-Bionomy can be
incredibly effective in the release of acute and chronic
pain associated with structural tension or imbalance. These
techniques increase circulation and provide a greater sense
of well-being. Ortho-Bionomy enables clients to consciously
experience and participate in their body's ability to self-correct.
This healing modality is for everyone; health care practitioners,
bodyworkers who desire a gentler approach on their own bodies,
and for the layperson.
Training/Licensing
Coursework in
Ortho-Bionomy ranges from continuing education courses for
senior practitioners to 500-hour certification programs.
